Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder

That's just insane. 900 miles to pepper spray somebody! I guess 900 miles is nothing for an astronaut. If she's found guilty I wonder if the punishment will be to just launch her back into space. A new form of capital punishment-float in space. They could go up in the shuttle and just push her out the door...

old astronaut trick...but yes, that is insane

Re: Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder
 

See, I think the whole diaper thing might hurt her chances to plea insanity. If she was really nuts she'd probably have just pissed herself without thinking twice.

I dunno, wearing a diaper so you don't have to stop is pretty frickin strange.

She's no brain surgeon, that's for sure.

Because then you have to get the key, pull down your big boy pants, go show Mommy what you did, get your present and then get back in the car.

Re: Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder
 

I don't understand why they gave her the attempted murder charge. It seems like an easy charge to beat given the fact that she only possessed a BB gun. It would be extremely difficult to kill someone with a BB gun.

My wife and I were discussing it and we think she's a prime candidate for suicide attempt. Her career is over, her family life is over, and she's constantly being ridiculed by the media.

If she kirked out over being cheated on, I can't wait to see how she's going to handle the pressure she's under now.

Re: Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder
 

I think she had a knife too.

She's probably wasn't going to kill the girl, but if she was insane enough to drive 900 miles in a diaper, who knows what she was up too.

Re: Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder
 

Yeah, on the news last night they said she had a 4'' folding knife, rubber gloves and large garbage bags. Oh yeah, she was also wearing diapers.



(I know we already talked about that last part, but I don't want people to forget that she was wearing Opps! I Crapped My Pants for 900 miles)

Re: Astronaut Charged with Attempted Murder
 

Her sanity is still orbiting the Earth in outer space.

See, don't have sex with co-workers!

Really...

How long does it take to go to the bathroom? 2 minutes?

You might need to stop 2 or 3 times in a 9-hour drive...so what's 6 minutes?

She's nuts.

Maybe she had the switchblade comb that Archuleta had!

That tells me they found some evidence that made them believe she was thinking of killing her. I just fell bad for the children and her husband which will have to deal with this.
